Secure Remote Access

Simple, secure access to apps and desktops from anywhere.

With the explosive growth of cloud applications within the workplace customers, partners and internal users alike expect to be able to connect anytime, anywhere and with any device. Providing always-on, secure access to your network and resources is essential to remaining productive and competitive in today's business environment.

Regardless of whether you are providing access to wired or wireless networks, cloud-based applications or IoT devices, you need measures in place to ensure that malware, malicious websites and unauthorised users cannot infiltrate your physical and virtual assets. And all of this needs to be achieved without compromising on flexibility and usability.

Key challenges

Gain comprehensive visibility into known and unknown devices on the network

Protect sensitive systems and data from unauthorised or non-compliant devices

Minimize human intervention for secure network access control

Comply with regulatory mandates

Enable visitors and employees to use their own devices easily and securely

Effectively manage BYOD, IoT and rogue devices

In the past, corporate VPNs provided a less than satisfactory user experience. Only since the introduction of SSL VPNs have users have enjoyed quick and secure access to corporate assets on the move. Recently the complexity of these solutions has increased as users bring a continually expanding array of devices into the workplace and expect a seamless experience regardless of device or location.

Organisations are also demanding greater security visibility across wired and wireless environments - for example to ascertain whether a user is accessing the network via a corporate or personal device, and verifying that the device has not been compromised.

These solutions can be tied to internal access solutions to ensure that users and their identities represent the new perimeter of your network. In this way policies follow the user, which means that access is restricted to the resources that a user needs in order to perform their role. This can be done ubiquitously or it can be dependent on the device and/or location.
